I have a 350 Watt 12" Sub, 8" mids and tweeters. I Have a alpine 4x60watt headunit.
Now what amp do I need? I'll need around 300watts for the sub, yes? Then I'll need to power mids and tweeters. So do I need 4 channel amp?

1 channel for mids,
1 channel for tweeters,
2 channels for sub?

As you can see I have no idea! All help welcome!

Cheers,
Alex.

no, u need 2 channels for the mids, 2 channels for the tweeters or it will be in mono not stereo.

sub only needs one channel really but your better off bridging 2, depends on what sub and amp you have.
